Follow local media or @calgarypolice on Twitter for updates.

Spring cleanup street sweeping
Street cleaning is underway across the city and will continue throughout the holiday weekend including Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Vehicle free streets are necessary for crews to thoroughly clear gravel, debris and other materials that have accumulated over the winter months. There are many ways to find out about sweeping in your neighbourhood. Signs are posted on-street or you can visit calgary.ca/sweep to sign-up for email notifications, view the interactive map or check your address. Remember: obey the sign and avoid a fine.

Calgary Parking AuthorityHoliday rates will be in effect at select Calgary Parking Authority parkades and surface lots. Regular rates will be in effect at the Calgary Zoo, TELUS Spark and Heritage Park. The Calgary Parking Authority office will be closed on April 19, 2019 and will re-open at 8:30 a.m. on April 22.

Construction and road closures

SW BRT – 90 Avenue & 14 Street S.W.
Significant underground utility work will be taking place at the intersection of 14 Street and 90 Avenue S.W. over the Easter weekend. To minimize impact to those who live, work and travel through the area, crews will be working around the clock and staged closures will be in place throughout the holiday weekend, rather than multiple closures during the spring and summer months. We want to ensure that access to Glenmore Landing is maintained during construction, so starting Thursday, April 18 we will be opening a temporary, gravelled slip lane from southbound 14 Street S.W. Access from eastbound 90 Avenue S.W. to Glenmore Landing will also remain open during construction. Please visit calgary.ca for more information on all related closures and detours.
